Thanksgiving is Coming- What am I Thankful for?

You know there are alot of days that I don't really think that I am very thankful for things I have or don't have... I get a bit of an UN-Christian attitude when it comes to certain things in my life... Like when I don't have the money or time to go where I want and when I want. Or I get a tad bit upset when things do not go my way and I can tell anyone that I am not very thankful for those times... I'm not thankful for the days I am sick and just don't feel like getting out of bed... When thinking about all the things I'm not thankful for or happy about, I must think about the flip side of things... What are some of the things I am thankful for? That is a very long list...

First and foremost I am thankful that I am able to worship God without the fear of being put to death... In the news the other day, they were talking about this poor woman who will be put to death because she is a Christian and she put down Buddism. You can read more real life stories like this on Voice of the Martyrs.


I am thankful for my family... When I look around many families aren't as blessed... I see so many kids who have hatred for one family member or another... I get upset at mine, but there has never been that kind of hatred and my kids and grandkids are the best... My husband is a bit grumpy, but then so am I... So I guess that is ok :)





I am thankful for some of the times God said no... I would think something was a great thing at the time and then come to find out later on that if that great thing would have turned into a catastrophe... I get upset when God says no, but I guess it is for my own good... Atleast that's what I tell myself after the fact.



I am thankful for the best friends in the world... I have friends that are there when needed and I hope I am a good friend in turn... I have friends that are willing to chase the bull, make trips out of the way and listen when I want to grip. And let me tell you, that is often...




I am thankful for my dogs, even when they don't listen and make an ooops on the floor... They love unconditionally and are always there.







I am thankful for the Phoenix Suns... They give me something to take my anger out on, like the San Antonio Spurs and The Lakers... Ughhh are those fighting words...




There are many things I am thankful for that is just to numerous to mention or write down. But that you God for all that you have given and for those people you have put in my life.

Its been a couple days

I haven't come on here for a couple of days. But here I am, in full color, lol. Well, not really color, but I am here.

Most of the weekend Chuck and I did quiet things. Every now and then that is a good thing. We were driving on the Blvd and noticed a sale at Aarons Rent to Own, and we bought us a TV. It is a rental return, but we got it for a killer deal. It is a 70" HDTV and has all kinds of bells and whistles. One little draw back though is the size. It is way big and takes up most of my wall that our old big screen was on. It is taller then I am too. Not sure why it is good to have this much TV. But like I said, it was a good deal. Our other one went out on us, so Chuck and I decided to go for this since it was on clearance. So it is a gift for both of us for Christmas. Although I think it is more for him, then me, lol.

Other then that, this weekend we had Beckiah, Jason and the boys over for a belated Thanksgiving dinner. We didn't have Turkey. I guess I was just thinking that Christmas is around the corner, so why mess with it. But it was nice getting together with everyone. I hope everyone else had a nice weekend.

Getting Ready to Go to Az

I feel bad for Chuck, well kinda,lol. We had our water heater blow its cork and we had water in the carpeting. What is a pain is that it stunk too. So we had to rent a steam cleaner to get it all out. Then after that, I told Chuck since we already rented it, we might as well clean the other carpets. Hummm, let me tell you that Chuck gave me a goofy look on that one. So here he is cleaning the carpets, moving the furniture around and trying to appease me, lol. I do appreciate getting it done. But now that it is done.

I have a nice clean area for my Christmas Tree when I get back from Az after Thanksgiving.Yeahhh, I love to decorate for Christmas. So guess what we will be doing? But I won't say that too loud. Chuck doesn't like to decorate that much, lol. So I will break it to him gently, or I will have my brother in law Craig come over and help. Chuck will be home for Thanksgiving. I guess he is going to go to his friend Glenns house. He will enjoy that I am sure.

I am going to go to a little hole in the world called Elfrida Az, it is about 90 minutes from Tucson. My parents live there and my nieces brothers. They will all be coming over to my mom and dads house. I am sure it will be nice to have everyone together. It has been a long time since that has happened. Although it isnt all of us. My sisters Joyce and Denise won't be there. It would be nice if they were there. But Bren will be there and my brother Dennis will be there on Friday sometime. My nephew Brandon may come here to visit. That will be cool.

But other then that, nothing more is going on with my day. Now it is time to just sit and do nothing and make sure things are going to be done before I leave for 4 days. Oh, one other thing, I will be bringing a foster dog back with me. Her name is Bonnie and she looks sweet for sure.
